Patio3D is aware of every structural detail in the ICC-ESR reports.

Such as:

  1. For on-slab installations, the reaction force at each post must not exceed 750 lbf, as required by the building code.
  2. The maximum side overhang can’t exceed 25% of the post spacing.
  3. The maximum panel or rafter overhang can’t exceed 25% of the clear span.
  4. At least one horizontal dimension (projection or width) of Freestanding covers shall be less than 30'.
  5. A minimum 3.5' concrete slab is required with constrained footings.
  6. Footings are required if the patio's width is less than 100% of its projection up to C150, or less than 110–120% at higher wind loads.
  7. When a constrained footing is required, the larger uplift or constrained footing from the header is used.

    …and many more!
